Pain Of Salvation to release album In The Passing Light Of Day

Swedish outfit Pain Of Salvation launch In The Passing Light Of Day – inspired by frontman Daniel Gildenlow's near-fatal illness in 2014

Pain Of Salvation will release their long-awaited album In The Passing Light Of Day on January 13.

Working with producer Daniel Bergstrand, who has overseen work by In Flames, Meshuggah and Strapping Young Lad, the band's follow-up to 2014's acoustic effort Falling Home is partly inspired by frontman Daniel Gildenlow's near-fatal flesh-eating bug in 2014.

He says: "What started off as an annoying infection has, in just hours, suddenly pivoted into the very real possibility of my actual dying.

"This album also shows the beauty of the transition, of the inevitable. And of the hope of a tomorrow, the hope of change, no matter how frail and naive that hope may be."
